The Elizabethtown Church of the Brethren, 777 S. Mount Joy St., Elizabethtown, will host a child-focused holiday celebration on Saturday, Nov. 23, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Children will be able to dress up in biblical outfits, participate in a scavenger hunt, listen to the organ playing and create a holiday craft, as well as take home a balloon animal created just for them from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The children will be able to shop for the family in a closed room with a Santa helper to assist for a small cost. All volunteers will comply with the church's child protection policy.

Food available for eating on-site will be chili and grilled cheese sandwiches. Baked goods will also be available for purchase. For dinner, barbecue chicken will be offered. The barbecue chicken can also be frozen and eaten later. 

Crafts will be on sale and a silent auction will provide additional gift options.

SERRV and Equal Exchange items will be available. SERRV will provide gift ideas as well as some food-related items. The Equal Exchange will offer coffee, teas, chocolates, nuts and olive oil.

 A selection of gently used items will be available at no cost. The items will include household goods, clothing for children through adults, children's toys and books.

Attendees should enter the church through the door under the portico, which will be the starting point to receive a child's scavenger hunt ticket.
